Customer Question: Reclining Sport Seats For A 2024 S650 Mustang GT

Customer question, Ford Mustang GT S650

An email in this week: reclining sport seats for a 2024 S650 Mustang GT, and the customer had already picked out the Sparco R100 himself. Have we got something suitable?

Short answer, yes. He has picked a sensible seat, we stock it, and we do the brackets that put it in a Mustang. Seat from £282.00, bracket from £222.60, and runners on top of that if he wants to keep the fore and aft adjustment.

The only thing we treat differently on a car this new is that we put the registration to the bracket maker before it ships. The rest of this page is what we would put in front of him.

  • The Sparco R100 is £282.00 a seat, in stock, and a sound choice for a road driven GT
  • A recliner mounts as three layers: seat, runners if you want them, then a bracket to the floor
  • We stock three Mustang brackets, from Planted Technology and PCI Racing, from £222.60
  • Both makers list them 2015 onward with no end year, and we confirm your reg before it ships
  • Tell us if the car has the factory heated or powered seats, it changes the conversation

The S650 Mustang GT. A big, quick, comfortable car, and the seat question in one is about support on track without wrecking it for the road.

The seat: he picked a good one

The R100 is Sparco’s entry reclining sport seat and it is the one we sell most of, for a reason. Slim bolsters so it clears the door card and centre console in most cars, a proper reclining backrest so it is usable on a long drive, and £282.00 a seat. In a car like a Mustang GT, which people drive to the circuit and home again, that combination is the whole point.

If you want more shape around you, the range steps up through the R333 at £449.47 and the GT at £505.89, which has the deepest bolsters of the reclining Sparcos. Cameron’s line on the choice: the R100 suits most drivers and most cabins, and you move up the range when you have sat in one and decided you want holding harder, not because the next one along costs more.

Doing both seatsThe R100 comes as a pair listing as well, at £540.00 for two, which is £24.00 less than buying two singles. If the passenger seat is going in at the same time, that is the one to order. There is a vinyl pair at £570.00 and a Martini Racing pair at £699.97 if you want the stripes.

The brackets, and yes we do them for a Mustang

A reclining seat goes into a car in three layers. The seat itself, a set of runners if you want to keep fore and aft adjustment, and a vehicle specific bracket that bolts to the factory seat mounting points in the floor. The first two are the same in any car. The third is the one that has to suit your exact model.

Seat, bracket, and runners if you want to keep the fore and aft adjustment. Nothing exotic in it, and we stock all three.

The one check we make on a car this newBoth makers list these as 2015 onward with no end year, and Planted close a range off whenever a generation is superseded, which they have done for every earlier Mustang back to 1964. Their open 2015 listing is the current car's bracket. Even so, on anything as new as a 2024 we put your registration to the maker before it ships. That is what we would do on any brand new model, and it is a phone call, not a hold up.

Which one you want depends on how the car gets used. The Planted bracket at £222.60 is the straightforward base to bolt a recliner and runners onto. PCI’s sliding sub frame at £330.00 builds the slider in. PCI’s adjustable mount at £240.00 gives the most adjustment and the lowest seat, which suits a track car more than one doing road miles. Garreth would put a road driven GT on the Planted or the PCI slider and keep the movement.

One more thing worth mentioning on a car this new. The factory seats have side airbags built in and the car senses whether the seat is occupied, so tell us what the car has, whether the seats are heated or powered, and we will talk it through properly on the phone.

Common questions

Yes, for a car that does road miles. Slim bolsters, a reclining backrest and £282.00 a seat. If you want to be held harder on track the R333 and the GT are the next steps up the same range.

Yes, three of them, from Planted Technology and PCI Racing, starting at £222.60. Both makers list them as 2015 onward with no end year. On a car as new as yours we still put the registration to the maker before it ships, which is standard on any new model.

Only if you want to keep fore and aft adjustment, which most people do on a road car. The Sparco twin runner kit covers both seats in one order.

An aftermarket recliner does not carry the factory heating over. Some seats can be ordered with heating built in, so if that matters say so early and we will point you at those instead.

Yes, and with a seat choice we would rather you did. The R100, R333 and GT are all things you can drop into in the showroom, and twenty minutes settles an argument that photographs never will.

The exact model and year, whether the factory seats are powered or heated, whether you want one seat or two, and whether you want to keep the fore and aft adjustment. That is enough for a full price once the bracket is confirmed.

If this is your enquiry, the answer is coming with a part number attached as soon as the makers come back to us. If you have landed here with the same car and the same idea, ring 0115 9893488 or drop us a line and we will put your S650 on the same question. The seats are on the shelf and the prices above are today’s, so the only thing anyone is waiting on is the bit that bolts to your floor.
